[Where] Rubber Castors for Hardwood Floor

PDD

Hi Folks,

I have decided to relocate my PC desk from the bedroom into my living room. The problem is that I have hardwood flooring and the chair I use is a nice big comfy office chair but has plastic castors for use on carpets. From my own experience these scratch the crap out of any hardwood flooring so I went looking for an alternative and after a bit of research online I discovered that you could get replacement castors that were made from soft rubber so as not to mark the floors.

I was just wondering if anyone has used these for hardwood floors and what their experience was, do they really leave no marks or is it just that the marks are not as bad/deep.

I found one or two places on eBay that will ship to Ireland but its looking to be around 30E for them. Does anyone know where I can source them in the Dublin area? Would DIY stores like B&Q stock them or would I be better off asking around in furniture shops like Reids etc.Any and all feedback welcome.

Woodies and BnQ who are both out in Airside Retail Park in Swords,have them in stock,as I was only looking at them yesterday.

They are called Castor Protectors,for use on laminated/wooden floors.;)

Hi Paddy,

Cheers for the feedback, any idea what price they were? Did you get a pack for yourself?

Cant remember the price,to be honest with you.

Was just browsing out in BnQ and also in Woodies with my girlfriend and just happened to see them.

Bought a load of felt furniture pads as,we just got new wide plank oak flooring laid down in the house,so we dont want the furniture legs scratching the flooring.


Woodies are have a 20% off everything sale on at the moment,so they might be cheaper than BnQ.
